In this question, a statement of assertion
is followed by a statement of reason
. Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion: It is harder to open and shut the door if we apply force near the hinge.
Reason: Torque is maximum at hinge of the door.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
: Torque
Force
perpendicular distance of line of force from the axis of rotation. Hence for
a given applied force, torque or true tendency of rotation will be high for large value of
. If distance
is smaller, then greater force is required to cause the same torque, hence it is harder to open or shut down the door by applying a force near the hinge.
